Sorry we haven't updated in awhile, it's all my fault (purpletea that is) so if you're pissed blame me. Trust me, lari has been on my case to write for like a week and I've just been too busy, or lazy, not entirely sure which…

Lari223: I just wanted to mention that on fictionpress dot com, which is a lot like fanfiction, purple and I made another story. That's probably why purple was so busy. We like it better, no offense to MPH (my personal hell), so we write it more often. Its called Mutts, if you want to read it, on purple's account, pelly. Summary: 'two girls are twins seperated at birth. the twist? they're a hybrid of two magical species with incredible powers. add in that they remember none of their past or each other and that insanely hot and evil twin boys are after them. then it gets fun.' Ya'll should go read it.

Sam's POV

Everyone was looking at me, and I hated that. What the hell was I supposed to do here? It wasn't like we could just make Danny forget what I'd just said. I mean, we could pass it off as some lame joke. 'Yeah, did I say vampire? Oh well that's just this inside joke we have . . .' Yeah, that'd go over really great. It'd be nice if we could just erase his memory. I glanced at Edward, who was shaking his head. Okay, so that wasn't really an option either. The last option here, the one we would have to go with it seemed, was the scariest one, the truth.

I sighed. "Danny, come with me," I said, "We've gotta talk." Danny looked hesitant for a fraction of a second before following me across the parking lot and around to the back of the cafeteria building.

"What did you mean vampire? And mind-reading?" Danny said as soon as we were out of earshot, or seemingly so. I knew Edward and Bella would be able to hear us, but I tried to forget about that.

I took a deep breath before saying. "Edward's a vampire, and so is Bella, and," I paused before continuing, "so am I."

"For real?" was his only response.

"For real," I muttered.

"So, you like, drink blood and stuff?" he asked quietly, and when I looked at him he was avoiding my eyes.

"Yes, but we're not what you'd call normal vampires," I said, "We drink animal blood." Danny looked like he was about to ask something else, but I cut him off. "Just give me a few minutes to explain it all. Trust me, it'll be faster," I said. I sat down on the grass near the wall of the building and Danny took a seat beside me. I sighed and began to explain.

Bella's POV

I watched Sam and Danny go, worried for a multitude of reasons. Number one was how Sam was going to explain things to Danny. A close second was that I was now alone with Edward. He was looking at me intensely, and no matter how long I avoided looking at himwhenever I snuck a glance he was still there, watching me.

"Do you really love me?" he asked solemnly.

"It's sad, but I really do," I replied, biting my lip.

"Why is it sad?" he asked, and it exasperated me that he couldn't just understand already.

"Because you left me, alright?! You broke my heart, and I still can't make myself truly hate you!" I said, "It's sad that I'm that attached to you!"

"If . . . if it's hurting you to be around me, to have that reminder, then I'll go," he said, but he looked pained. I couldn't believe it. He was pulling this stupid little stunt yet again. I glared at him with such ferocity that he flinched.

"Don't you get it?! I don't want you to go away! As much as it hurts to see you it hurts more to think of you leaving again!" I nearly whined.

"Then what do you want?" he asked, as calm as ever.

I don't know why I did what I did next. It was some instinct left over from my human years. Or maybe it was an entirely new one. Either way, it felt right. I stepped closer to Edward, dangerously close, and I grabbed two fistfuls of his shirt, dragging him even closer. Then I looked at him for less than a second before crushing my lips onto his. He didn't move at first, out of shock I was sure, but then his arms were wrapping around me. I released his shirt and moved my hands to his hair, trying to press even closer to him. His tongue skimmed along my lower lip, requesting access, and I quickly granted it.

It was different from the other times I'd kissed him, so very different, but it was also better. Neither of us had to be careful or controlled. This was all emotion and passion, and it was amazing. I almost whimpered as he pulled away.

"Why?" he asked, his voice somehow sounding rough.

"Because that's what I want," I said calmly.

"So you're giving me a second chance?" he asked now.

I sighed. I didn't want to go into this exactly. "Sort of. I still don't trust you completely, but I'm tired of lying," I said quietly.

"Well that's enough for me," he muttered and bent to kiss me again.

Sam's POV

I'd finished explaining to Danny. Now came the hard part, his reaction.

"Just one more question," he said.

"Alright," I replied. I hoped it would be an easy one, but I doubted it at the same time.

"How did you become a vampire?" he asked.

The memory was on me before I could stop it and lock it away with the rest of my bad experiences. Suddenly it was flooding through my mind, and I was back in that little room again.

The scientist looked over me disdainfully, scribbling something on his clipboard. He was disappointed in me. Oh well, he would have to deal with it. I never seemed to meet his expectations, but it hardly bothered me. I often wondered why he bothered with these experiments, since they were yielding little to no results, but he was determined.

I could understand it, a little bit. He was a vampire now, but he used to be one of the humans who hunted our race. Of course that had been hundreds of years ago, but he could never give up the profession. He was using me, his own little lab rat, to practice. He wanted to find a "cure" for vampirism. Others had called him crazy. I couldn't say that I disagreed. I heard the things he said when he muttered to himself late at night. I don't know how he expected me not to. They weren't sane things.

I smiled up at him, feeling defiant today. "Am I doing something wrong, doctor?" I asked sweetly. He insisted on being called "doctor" though he had no degree that I was aware of.

"No, no, it's not your fault if the procedure doesn't work," he said, continuing to scribble. I knew it was a lie, at least in his mind. He somehow blamed me for all his failures, but I suppose I understood that as well. He was frustrated, and I was the only thing he had to blame.

It wasn't long after that I'd broken out, killing the scientist. He wasn't so terrible, but I hated being an experiment. I wanted more than that, and I didn't want him following me while I tried to live my life. He'd changed me, but only so that he could use me for research. I didn't owe him anything, so I didn't really feel bad for killing him.

I smiled weakly and looked at Danny. "You know, it's a long story, but I'm gonna tell you anyway," I said. I didn't want to hide things from him. I told him about it, and then continued on and filled in the story of what I did after that and how I met Bella and the Cullens and then the bit that led up to now.

"Okay, didn't your family wonder where you went?" he asked when I'd finished. I could tell he was getting pretty overwhelmed here, and not doubt this was only one of many questions he had.

"No, I don't think Dad ever really noticed. My mom ran off when I was little and Dad was, well he had a bit of a drinking problem, and that's saying it nicely. Every day was the same for him. It was always get up, drink until you puke, pass out, then sleep it off for twelve hours so that you could get up and do it all again. Whether I was a there or not never really concerned him," I said. I was pretty sure my dad was dead by now, and that didn't bother me one bit.

"Oh," was all Danny managed to say. For once I wished Edward was here to tell me what he was thinking.

"Look, I know this is a lot to take in, so I'll let you think on it for awhile, okay?" I said, standing up. Danny stood too. "Just let it sink in, and try not to think too much," I continued, "You'll be fine." In my mind I added, I hope.

"Kay," he said, and he headed for the parking lot. I watched as he drove off, going home even though school wasn't over yet. He had a right to skip a class or two. He had a lot on his mind.

I walked back around to where we'd left Edward and Bella, barely surprised to see them making out. They were so absorbed in each other that they didn't hear me approach, and I decided to have some fun with it. I snuck up as close as I could without being noticed.

"HIYA!" I screamed, and they jumped. I laughed, saying, "I leave you two alone for ten minutes, and I find you sucking face, how pathetic."

"So what'd you tell Danny?" Bella asked, changing the subject as she disentangled herself from Edward.

"The truth," I said.

"The Volturi may not like that," Edward said, the downer as always.

"The Volturi don't have to know," I growled, making it clear whose fault it would be if they did find out.

"I hope you're right, hon," Bella said. She sounded worried for Danny, but I noticed the way her eyes kept trailing back to Edward.

"He knows not to tell anyone, and besides, who'd believe it?" I said.

"You'd be surprised what people believe," Edward muttered, sounding ominous. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, I'm out of here, and I'm taking the car," I said, heading for the vehicle, "I assume you've got a ride home Bella."

Edward nodded, and before I was out of the parking lot I saw them kissing again.

That's it for now, review. Should Danny be changed or not? We don't really know yet, so we need your advise!
